As a soil physicist, I dedicate my current and future research to broadening our knowledge on the mechanistic understanding of the soil-related process occurring at the soil-root interface and their relevance to improving the soil physical constraints imposed on the transport of water and nutrients between the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum, particularly in water and nutrient-limited condition. I believe that understating the interactions between soil, microorganisms, plant, and the atmosphere has great potential to increase the ability of plants to better access water and nutrients from soil under limited conditions.
